Emperor's health which forms very interesting
reading. It is written nby N. Blowitz, whose

to his fathers throne; but his wife Is watching
over him. The Grown Princess Victoria is de-
termined to sit one day on the throne by the
side Of her husband She possesses the te-
nacity Of the Coburgs and she inherited Queen
victoria's will and energy, and thereby exer-
discs great influence over her husband The
Grown Princess has yet many revenges to take,
for her heart has often bled from the
treatment she had to endure at tho hands
OF the proud and malicious Empress Augusta.
Princess Victoria hates Bismarck. She cannot
forgive him for the opinion be expressed about
her children, his coarseness, and his perse-
verance In trying to ignore her. The Crown
Princess does not mean to retro to quiet
corner at Potsdam or at Windsor. and she does
not mean to die before she is something. This
something is to become the Empress. 1t Is
she who inspires the Crown Prince with
courage and energy to overcome his illness.
Prince Bismarck breads the pride and spite Of
this woman. He fears that Us Her Majesty,
she will open the way to principles different
from those on which he founded the empire. She
means to adopt real constitutional principles
for governing Germany. She aims ut stopping
personal and autocratic government. She de-
sires that the voice Of the nation be heard. In
short, she wishes everything which Bismarck
believes would be the ruin Of Germany. Bis
marck is convinced that II Princess Victoria
were to be Empress even for one year only. ir-
reparable damage would be done to Germany
This Is the reason why Bismarck wishes moth
ing more fervently than that the life of the
Emperor should be spared as long as possible.
